JOLIET, Ill. -- ColeCuster has some clarity about making the next step up the NASCAR ladder, but he insists he still has goals to achieve on his current rung. Stewart-Haas Racing announced Friday morning that the 18-year-old NASCAR Next alum will move up to drive for the organization's newborn team in the NASCAR XFINITY Series next season. Custer will embark on a Sunoco Rookie of the Year campaign in the No. 00 entry with sponsorship from Haas Automation. For now, Custer's immediate target is on closing out the current season strong in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The driver of the JR Motorsports No. 00 Chevrolet sits as the highest-ranking driver outside of the provisional eight-driver Chase grid heading into Friday night's American Ethanol E15 225 (8:30 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). "Definitely really excited about next year," Custer said ahead of the regular-season finale on the 1.5-mile track. "SHR is one of the best organizations in NASCAR, so really excited about that, but we're really focused on winning today." Custer has two Camping World Truck Series wins to his credit, including his 2014 breakthrough at New Hampshire Motor Speedway , where he became the youngest winner of a NASCAR national series race at the age of 16 years, 7 months and 28 days. He sits winless this season, but did chalk up a pole position in the series' most recent race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park . That race ended in bitter defeat after a late-race bump and tangle with John Hunter Nemechek in the final lap spoiled what had been a dominant day. Custer's move comes in a pivotal transition period for Stewart-Haas Racing , which has fielded a multiple-car operation in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series since 2009. The team announced in July that it would field a single-car entry in the XFINITY Series for the first time. That change came after the organization's February bombshell that it would switch its four-car Sprint Cup stable from Chevrolet to Ford, starting in 2017. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

RELATED: Results " Truck Series Chase Grid Bowmanville, Ontario, CANADA -- In what has quickly become tradition for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series when it races north of the border, the Chevrolet Silverado 250 produced yet another wild and memorable finish. This time around at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park , John Hunter Nemechek and ColeCuster made contact on the last corner of the last lap and crossed the start-finish line in the grass in a virtual tie. Following a few moments of deliberations, NASCAR officials determined Nemechek won the race by 0.034 seconds. Daniel Hemric -- who was briefly shown as the winner on the official timing and scoring feed before NASCAR officials sorted out the photo finish between Nemechek and Custer -- was third, defending champion Matt Crafton finished fourth and rookie Christopher Bell came home fifth. "It was exciting to say the least. I can't thank all of my guys enough for the hard work they put into this truck," Nemechek said. Despite not leading the most laps, Nemechek's No. 8 NEMCO Motorsports Chevrolet proved be a strong runner, particularly in the latter stages of the race, as the second-generation NASCAR driver led 19 laps and was able to stay in touch with the front-running Custer on consecutive late-race restarts. "We had one fast truck. I didn't know how long it was going to take to get past (Spencer) Gallagher but I set him up in (Turns) 5a and 5b and was able to drive underneath him going down the backstretch. Once we got by him I had clean air and was able to drive right up to Cole ," he said. As for the contact with Custer at the finish and the ensuing tussle that took place between the two on the frontstretch post-race, Nemechek chalked it up to the burning desire to win. " Cole and I, we're very competitive racers and we would have done anything in the same position to make sure we get that win," he said. For Custer , however, the result was an especially tough one to swallow. The 18-year-old Californian was a dominant force all weekend in the No. 00 Haas Automation Chevrolet, winning the pole in record-setting fashion and leading for a total of 39 laps during the race in a bid to secure a spot in the inaugural eight-driver NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase. RELATED: Custer tackles Nemechek at flag stand His anger and disappointment was palpable when he spoke with reporters afterwards. "(Nemeche) had raced me clean and just hit me in the back on the second-last corner, and that got me out of shape, got me off the line and then he hit me again in the last corner, and that just sent us into the grass and he just drove me up against the fence. "I was expecting it, kinda, because he's raced a lot of people like that but it's just a shame because it was a great chance to get into the Chase and he took it away from us," he continued. Despite the missed opportunity, Custer will have one more chance to qualify for the Chase if he can win the final race of the regular season at Chicagoland Speedway on Sept. 16. Nemechek was already locked in to the Chase coming into the weekend by virtue of his win at Atlanta in February.

Driver scores first win of 2015 Camping World Truck Series season RELATED: Full race results " Updated series standings MADISON, Ill. -- ColeCuster took advantage of a five-lap shootout at Gateway Motorsports Park to score his second career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win in Saturday night's American Ethanol presents the Drivin' for Linemen 200 brought to you by Ameren. When race leader Tyler Reddick missed his second shift of the night on the final restart, Custer attacked and cleared the field to cruise to a 0.871-second triumph over Spencer Gallagher . It was the 17-year-old NASCAR Next driver's first win of the year and second for JR Motorsports, which won last month at Charlotte Motor Speedway with Kasey Kahne . "I was just trying to tell myself 'no excuses,'" said Custer , who won in his third start of the year. "I think we were a little bit better than the 19 (Reddick). We struggled a little bit all day. I don't know, I'm just tired. I gotta thank Haas Automation, Gene Haas, Kelley (Earnhardt-Miller), Dale (Earnhardt Jr.) for giving me this opportunity and Hendrick engines, the pit crew for coming out. "We put everything together, we didn't have the best truck, but we ran a great race." After Matt Crafton and Erik Jones , who had the two strongest trucks of the night, endured problems late in the race, the revolving door opened with Custer answering. For Gallagher, late-race strategy played into his hands -- which ultimately led to his second career top-five finish. "(We) didn't have the speed in our No. 23 Allegiant Travel Chevrolet that we wanted all day, but we started 14th, so pretty far back there and a track where track position is such a huge deal, that was kind of a cloud hanging over our head to begin with. My GMS Racing guys played the game right all night. We were able to hold off Sauter at the end there. I told my crew chief, better be lucky than good sometimes, I'll take it." Mother Nature played her hand early at Gateway, cancelling qualifying after a brief, but heavy shower a few minutes into round one of knockout qualifying. The field was set per the rule book, putting Erik Jones on the pole after turning the fastest lap in practice earlier in the day. Quickly, the track dried, but the start of the eighth race of the season was delayed nearly two hours after a heavy shower soaked the 1.25-mile oval shortly before pre-race ceremonies. Drivers were called to their trucks at 9:25 p.m. CST, with the command to fire engines less than 10 minutes later. From the start, Jones kept the lead and held the point until the first caution waved on Lap 53 for a two-truck accident in Turn 1. Matt Crafton won the race off pit road ahead of Erik Jones , Matt Tifft , Johnny Sauter and Tyler Reddick . Racing resumed, but Crafton's lead would be short-lived as Jones, a NASCAR Next alum, made the pass on the outside and retook the lead from the defending series champion. Despite being chased by Crafton, Jones kept the lead until the second yellow flag waved on Lap 80 for debris. While Jones elected to pit, Crafton stayed out, while Tyler Reddick , Johnny Sauter , Brandon Jones and Austin Theriault played strategy and took two tires. Jones was the first truck that elected for four tires and exited pit road sixth. Crafton held the lead through Lap 91 when Tifft crashed in Turn 1. Under the third caution of the race, Crafton pitted, handing the lead to his ThorSport Racing teammate Johnny Sauter with Custer second. Restarting with 64 laps to go, Sauter found himself unable to hold off Custer , who ventured out to a half-second lead by Lap 100. Ten laps later, Custer had company in the form of Jones, who made the pass to reclaim the lead on Lap 112. Six laps later, a stalled truck brought out another yellow, sending the lead lap trucks to pit road for service. A flawless stop by Crafton's team sent him back to the top ahead of Spencer Gallagher , who took two tires. Jones exited third, followed by Ray Black Jr . with no tires, and Reddick. On the restart, Crafton was able to stay ahead, but Jones, hungry for his first win of the season, was quickly closing. Ultimately, Jones spun on the frontstretch 17 laps from the finish while trying to pass a lapped truck. With Jones out of the mix, Crafton found Reddick, Custer and John Hunter Nemechek looking to deny him of his fourth win of 2015. The green flag resumed with 10 laps remaining and Reddick wasted no time making his move and surging to the lead. Crafton's strong night would take a dramatic turn after Nemechek broke loose in Turn 3 and sent the No. 88 Toyota hard into the outside wall, yielding the sixth caution of the night. Custer jumped out to the lead on the final restart and cruised the rest of the way to Victory Lane. Behind Custer and Gallagher, Sauter, Nemechek and Cameron Hayley rounded out the top five, while Timothy Peters , Ben Kennedy , Reddick, Daniel Hemric and Austin Theriault comprised the top-10. "I always knew that we had trucks capable of winning," Custer said. "We just had to put everything together for a race."
